UI Customization

mangetak

Hello,

We are trying to personalize TeamSite 6.1, to

a) Remove menu Items.
b) Remove tabs (workflow)
c) Remove shortcut buttons

We know how to set or remove this items but we want to restrict access by role.

We checked documentation, and it says that Menu file items (a) cannot be removed by role. "Interwoven supplied (not custom) ContentCenter menu items can not be disabled by role in this release. However, by removing an operation (such as Copy) in ContentCenter Standard but not in ContentCenter Professional, one can effectively limit a class of users (those who have access to only one of the ContentCenter GUIs) from performing certain operations."

But for the other cases (b,c) we want to know where is a full list of all customer tookist in order to get the operationId. We have to set in the ui_custom the id of the element to remove. We guess in this cases access can be defined by role in the roles_custom.xml

In order to be able to control role-access to the OOTB items - you need to remove the OOTB item and replace it with a custom item that calls the OOTB command, but includes an operationID, which you can then refer to in the roles_custom.xml file to control the access by role.

I think it would have made a lot more sense for IWOV to have supplied those operationID's with the OOTB menu items to begin with, but they didn't - so the only way to do it is as described above.

Yeah, That would be helpful... But still have some doubts.

In ref_ccpro_ui_filesys.xml we have all menu items defined as:

<menu id="iw.ccpro.file.menu">
<link id="iw.ccpro.file_menu.create_simple_file.link" refid="_iw.ccpro.create_simple_file.link"/>
<link id="iw.ccpro.file_menu.create_form.link" refid="_iw.ccpro.create_form.link" />
...

Wouldn´t be enough adding the attribute "operationID" whithin each link tag? Sth like:
<link id="iw.ccpro.file_menu.create_simple_file.link" refid="_iw.ccpro.create_simple_file.link" operationID="myLink"/>

Then in the roles_custom.xml it would only be necessary to add the restriction using the designed operationID:
<roles>
<role id="author">
<operation id="myLink" isPermitted="false">
</operation>
</role>
...
</roles>

Is this what you mean?

Adam Stoller

You have to make the change in ui_custom.xml - like:...
<menu id="iw.ccpro.file.menu">
<iwov-delete>
<link id="iw.ccpro.file_menu.move.link"/>
</iwov-delete>
<link id="cu.ccpro.file_menu.move.link"
operationID="cu.ccpro.file_menu.move.op"
label="Move File"
description="Move file"
url="/iw-cc/move"/>
...
</menu>
...Note how I use the id to remove and then then re-register the Move File menu item - when I re-register it, I add an operationID which can then be referenced in the roles_custom.xml file to limit the roles for which this menu option should be accessible.

One additional side-effect of this (which I forgot to mention before) is that by doing this you lose the context-sensitive aspects of the OOTB menu items - like having it determine that the menu item should be inactive when you're not in a workarea or when you have a directory instead of a file selected, or nothing selected, etc.

Thanks a lot,

That worked perfect! We´ve tried what you said in our Menu Items and we got exactly the result we expected. Now, we wonder if is there anyway to do the same with tabs as workflows one. We know we can remove it, BUT don´t have that clear if it can be done by role.
Do you know anyway to face this?

Adam Stoller

Read the UICG - my understanding is that you can control tabs the same way you control menu items - and thus you can probably apply the same concepts to the tabs as my previous example did for menus.

I'm not sure I like the idea of limiting the workflow tab to certain roles - but I'll assume you have good reasons for doing this.

Can this be achieved with Copy To. I don't see Copy To as an option in any UICG documentation...

This seems to have come out of left-field. I'm not sure what you're asking but as you weren't the original requestor of information perhaps what you're asking has no bearing on this thread?

hi there,

now on the workflow tab, I want to have refresh button on the right hand corner.
I already insert it on workflow_custom.xml but still not working. I also run the toolkit.ipl
<workflow-config>
<globals>

<link label="Refresh"
description="Refresh"
url="/base/common/refresh_parent_and_close_window.jsp"
id="iw.ccpro.refresh.link"
icon="/base/images/refreshIcon.gif"
target="_blank"
windowFeatures="width=100,height=100, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, toolbar=no, titlebar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,left=4000"

Adam,
Is this still a problem with TS 6.5 ? Customized items doesnt get disabled automatically when user doesnt have access to the correct area? For example if user doesnt have access to workarea work in the branch A then Delete is disabled but when we put customized item in place it shows enabled.
This is kind a security threat in the system. Do we need to handle this in our customized code or some easy ways to achieve this?

As far as I know you have to handle this in your custom code. I don't believe the OOTB context restrictions apply to custom menus.

Feel free to check with Support - I don't recall if there is a bug or FR filed for this (I don't think so, but it's possible).

Thanks ghoti...I will check with support and post the answer...

I'm on TS 6.5 Service Pack 2 and I'm trying to modify the column widths of both the file listings and the file listing in View Modified Files in the Professional view. I have read the manuels and modifed the ui_custom.xml and ran the make_toolkit.ipl but nothing seems to change. Do you have any advice or examples of expaning column widths? Also I can find where I can modify the Modified files list. Do you know where that is?
